Y'know, I mentioned this on 4chan when I first came across it on an Applejack image dump thread, but I decided I wanted to seek out the creator and let them know themselves.

I think this image has become one of my top favorite Applejack images out there. I just keep envisioning AJ waking in the night to some unnatural howl in the distance that may be a little too close for her tastes. So, with her family set firmly in mind she gets her gun and keeps watch for the rest of the night, only leaving her post when the sun rises and it's light firmly dispels any doubts and worries she may have.

Sorry if I went off a little there. But like I said, I sense a story behind this image.

I may be wayyyy friggin off, but it's inspired the idea in me and I thank you for that. Not to mention it's increased my appreciation for Jack a little.

It also doesn't hurt that, in my opinion, Applejack and guns go together swimmingly. This image is the shit bro. Cheers.
